The more I read back over previous announcements, transcripts and colourful brochures, the more I am utterly speechless.
There can be no excuses for the complete 180 in views from GV. There is something very sinister behind the facade of a slow talking, American corporate high flyer.
How is it, a vastly unappreciated and undervalued company, worth so much more, become next to worthless in such a short time frame.
That we should all accept this insulting offer and be happy about it.
Let this clear, if the Chinese are buying it... there is value there. Value that can be extracted from someone who isn't solely devoted to self interest, an exorbitant pay packet and empty promises.
I would say to all SH would you rather sell out now and take the crumbs or give a big up yours to management. Standing to lose so much, I would feel better risking it all for a fair deal than sell out now.
Having been through this so many times, I am sick of private equity players coming out of the shadows and taking the rewards of long term shareholders. Don't be fooled from the scaremongering of GV, who is motivated by nothing other than to wipe his hands clean of this company.
I ask, how will you feel, if they take control, when they are flogging it back to the public for a small fortune. It's our money, our misery that got this company to where it is.
The complete contradiction in GVs writing, is testament to his character. He may have given up on this company and shareholders, but doesn't mean we have to roll over.
